If you want to go with spray can, this is what i have read. The trick is to spray one panel at a time, masking adjacent panels, and spray quickly (i.e move the can quickly), from about a foot away, in a random pattern. It will take about six or seven coats like this, but each coat should dry in about two or three minutes. This ensures that you don't have the standard striped pattern you normally get from spray painting.
I've never done this but i have seen the end result, and it was actually decent.
